Dr. Umar is a scammer and FDMG Academy will never open.

[Fanservice]

Remember when Umar got caught PAWGing at the mall


I hope Umar sticks around simply because he provides quality entertainment



Yeah he’s pretty much a meme at this point, but his presence isn’t offensive.

 

[Who Not How]

Look how hard this is for him just to open the school.

He ain't even dealing with the people who will be in the school yet. It's gonna be a shytshow when he gotta stay on top of the school PLUS the teachers/students and the little boy's mothers who will be throwing it at him. Umar gonna be caught in scandals left and right until they finally shut the school down.

You can't just buy a school building and say you have a school. A school, and a private black owned institution at that, requires MILLIONS in upkeep.

I'll say the same thing about Tariq...you can't just open a museum with a $1 million either.

A school requires accreditation from the state as well as funding. A school also requires

- staff (janitors, cafteria workers)
- faculty (teachers and administrators)
- computers and internet (Umar talked about having typewriters...yes. typewriters. At the school)
- running water and working plumbing (he had port a johns at the FDMG festival cause the plumbing isn't working
- facility inspection (probably all sorts of lead, abstestos, and carbon monoxide in the building that hasn't been tested or removed)
- a seasonal curriculum
- schoolbooks
- a payroll for staff and salary for teachers/administrators

Umar has not thought of these things. And he obviously isn't.

To be honest brother, that’s not actually true.

You may be thinking of a high school or college type setting, but if you live in any major city (DC, SF, NYC where I’ve lived) there are many charter and private schools for younger students that are almost the norm now, and a lot of parents either pay for their kids or get sponsored to go. These are always in buildings that already exist, and started by an individual or small group of individuals who really aren’t that wealthy.

I was at a school like this last year that was all black and had the kids learning about African heritage etc. I can’t remember the name but it was like 4 rooms and the kids spoke about thier pride in being black before class started instead of pledge of allegiance.


This is a new era for education, and I know people who have started schools, so I know Umar is Bs because he is famous and got National funding while the people I know did not…

But guess whose schools are open

 

[Dzali OG]

First I thought him opening a school would be great. Then I thought......his school can only hold a few hundred students. There are millions of young black boys...what good would ONE fukkIN SCHOOL do us???

He's in the same lane as black power guys who think we can separate in 2022.

I don't even think he's a scammer. I think he's a egotistical, narcissistic, crazy nikka who's over his head.

 

[shopthatwrecks]

I would respect doctor Umar a lot more if he just admitted that he was in over his head and didn't know he was doing.

But it was that stubborness and pride that he displayed on his interview with Lord Jamar that showed he would rather stand ten toes down on his square and not ask for help...unless it comes in the form of donations. He assured people that because he came from a background of educators that he could do it all on his own.

He wanted laborers, plumbers, and HVAC techs to work for free. He seemingly had this idea that all he needs to do is ask for donations and the rest would fall into place. It doesn't work like that.

Not free but half the cost .. at night when code inspectors are not on the clock

Its like now any time the city comes thru n do something he is there .. to cap like he is getting shyt done

When the nikka got that Fdmg banner

Vs spending a couple of hundred dollars to replace the led sign with his brand n change out the lights

Lol

Y’all keep saying this but can anyone prove he scamming

Insufficient Scammer

 

[BandOfGypsys]

Even if he's not scamming and starts his school I don't want to root against him but that shyt is probably gonna crash and burn. This nikkas ego is out of this world and with all that knowledge Dr Umar still has a ton of nikkas in him.

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

I’m not a follower of him or Tariq. But I have watched y’all move the goalposts every single step of the way with this man. According to most, he was stealing money and we’d never see anything.

It’s Dec 2022 and the man has a school, paid for, and fixed it up, claiming to have it open in February. Which is a long damn way from the original argument of him stealing the money and running away.

Misguided as he may be, even if this school fails, he tried. He didn’t just steal money and run.

Now when’s that museum opening up. Time is ticking. I want to see that same energy

 

[Ziggiy]

Yes he’s a scammer. He pimps pan-Africanism the way Derick Jaxson pimps single black mothers.

The school is not fixed up at all.
The windows are still boarded up
There are still missing tiles in the ceiling.
Plumbing doesn't work
Electricity doesn't work
And TBH, i don't think Umar actually has keys to the building.

He was only focused on getting the HVAC installed so he could have a place to stay in the wintertime. He's been living in the gym of the school.

 

[CopiousX]

His school may very well be a scam, but how come these big name black celebrities never pooled their money together and build an institution for black people or donate to a credible black cause?

Numerous celebrities have schools ranging from LeBron to Oprah to Akon to Serena Williams to even Diddy. And they didn't have to gift for a decade to build them .

 

[Duke Wy Lin]

"What needs to open up is your heart and mind to the truth, my brother. Let ME worry about the school. I GOT this! YOU just worry about sending some damn donations"

"And don't think for ONE SECOND I don't see the c00n in you, playa"
